She said that crying humanises the topic and shows people that it is life.

‘[Crying says:] you affected me in this way. You may not have meant to do that and this might not be what you’re trying to put down, but this is how the message is being received. If you don’t want to be a s***head then you shouldn’t say that.’

With the recently release of her EP, Bold, Mary also hinted at a tour next May or June.
